We live as a covenant people and what this means is described beautifully in the images of our own baptismal covenant.  Lent is is season of journey in faith whose destination is always a stronger faith renewed in the light of hope and love which we encounter Easter morning as we celebrate Jesus resurrection.  In our look into covenants of the Old Testament and the covenant established with us in Jesus, our Lenten journey will be one of renewed hope and deepening faith.    Click Here for more information.

This year our Wednesday program will take on a slightly different style.  Instead of a class on spirituality or faith which has been the centerpiece of our Wednesday nights in previous years, we will instead have the opportunity to experience different ways of praying.  Stations of the Cross will be a regular component of each Wednesday, but each week it will have another liturgy that will allow us to experience other types of prayer and devotion from the rich liturgical heritage of our Church.

   Looking to join a small group where you can develop close friendships as you dine, laugh, learn and grow in your faith? Feast Groups are the way! Sign-ups have begun. Groups of 8 - 10 persons (couples and singles) meet once a month or so and rotate houses or restaurants until all have hosted.

   Groups Defined: *HOME (Meet at Host Home) *FAMILY (Home Group with Children Included) RESTAURANT (Host chooses Restaurant) EMPTY NESTERS (Meet for Lunch) (*At homes everyone brings a dish so no one is responsible for the entire meal.)

   There will be a social on Saturday, March 9, at 6:30 pm at St. Columba's. This is a chance to learn more about Feast Groups and get acquainted with your group. Please bring an appetizer to share.

     Everybody is Irish on St. Patrick's Day!  And in that spirit, our very own youth group is throwing a traditional Irish dinner for the entire parish.  There will be corned beef, cabbage, Irish soda bread, and potatoes - Linda and Todd Reid's famous recipe - hotdogs and other kid friendly food too.  Desserts and Irish beverages will be served by the adult leprechauns too.  

     As a special treat, the talent of our parish will be featured during a special "Guitaritas" - or offering of music by some incredible musicians and voices from our youth group and youth leaders.  It will be a night not to be missed.  All proceeds will help defray the costs for the youth mission trip this summer.  Space is limited and the cost will be $15 for adults, $7 for children under 12.  Fabulous food, a great celebration, Irish cheer, phenomenal entertainment... make your reservation today.  Click Here to make your reservation.
